Wake up Eagles fans because we’re not in the Super Bowl just yet. There is a moratorium on using a certain phrase that rhymes with “Ream Team” in regard to the 2011 Eagles. While we all know that preseason games don’t really matter, they do tell us a lot about the players who will make this team. If the lockout offers us nothing else, it caused the NFL to dispense with OTA and involunta...

It’s that time of year again. It’s the time when your fingers become numb from searching for projections, your vision becomes blurry from checking stats, and your mind becomes twisted like a pretzel because you aren’t sure who to take at that dread #1 spot. If you haven’t gotten the hint by now, it’s time to start gearing up for the 2011 Fantasy Football season. Yes, I’m going out o...

Well we dipped our feet in the water with the top 5 players on fantasy boards let's take a look at the rest of the top 10 across most draft boards.
There's definitely less of a consensus to me when it comes to the 6-10 portion of the the top picks mainly due to PPR (points per reception) values that can fluctuate their overall value. Also, there are times when many fantasy managers will reach f...

1976 Logans Run
Saying that the Eagles' personnel decisions resemble the cult 1970s sci-fi dystopian flick Logans Run (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812/) may be a bit unfair, but you can count the number of players over 30 on the Eagles roster without taking off your shoes. Former Eagles RB Brian Westbrook said recently that he'd love to return to Philly. After spending a year in San Francis...

Do you remember the last time these two teams met in the playoffs? It was that epic fourth and 26 game in the 2003 NFC Divisional Playoff. Freddie Mitchell came through with a 28-yard reception to keep the drive alive. David Akers would then kick the game-tying and game-winning field goal in overtime.
Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL at this time, b...

‘Should I stay or should I go now… If I leave there will be trouble, and if I stay it will be double… So you gotta let me know, should I stay or should I go'. Who would have thought that a song written by The Clash in 1981 would be relevant to sports in 2011? Recently, Andrew Luck, the consensus number one pick in the upcoming draft, shocked the sports world when he announced that...

Eagles beat Cowboys. First and foremost, the ghosts of 2009 are dead. The bitter rival who beat the Eagles three times including a wildcard round playoff embarrassment causing Philadelphia roster overhaul have been defeated. After Sunday’s win, all the talk was about DeSean Jackson. His 210-yard performance, his touchdown celebration and, yes, there was a lot to discuss.
McCoy and the Eagles ...

In what will the first of 2 late meetings this season, the Cowboys will host the Eagles this Sunday night. The Cowboys have been on a roll at 3-1, minus a monstrous fumble late in the Saints game, the Boys would be 4-0 coming in after the switch at head coach. A few weeks back not many people would look at this as a competitive game where the Eagles have a rejuvenated Michael Vick, who is playi...

Playoff time is just around the corner and, at times, it can be better to start one player who’s on a hot streak, rather than just a big name. Since Week 8 (excluding bye weeks), here’s who’s hot & who’s not:
Who’s Hot
Dwayne Bowe. It’s very simple: No receiver has had more yards or touchdowns in the past five weeks than Bowe (40 catches, 544 yards, 9 TD). Only two other wideout...

While my fantasy football teams are doing great this season, my advice on who to sit and start has been very average. I've looked at stats, crunched the numbers, played the odds and tried to make the most informed decisions I could in helping others start the right players. Well, screw that research and time, especially since half the time I was wrong anyway. This week, I'm going with my gut. S...

It’s a short week, so let’s just get to the good stuff.
Start’em in Week 12
Kevin Boss (vs. Jacksonville)
No Steve Smith, no Hakeem Nicks and Boss – the Giants’ leading receiver per yards per reception (15.1) – takes on the NFL’s 28th worst pass defense in the Jaguars.
Mario Manningham (vs. Jacksonville)
The Giants’ No. 1 receiver for the next three weeks
Danny Woodhead (@ Det...

For those who may not have noticed, the Philadelphia Eagles are on quite a roll. Now mind you, the NFL in 2010 requires the usage of phrases like “league parity” and “any given Sunday” and of course “we're focused on this week's game” but if you're Andy Reid, even he can't be too tight-lipped about his pleasure in beating teams like the Colts and the Giants. ...
